Basking Broodscale

Creature — Lizard

Devoid (This card has no colour.)

: Adapt 1. (If this creature has no +1/+1 counters on it, put a +1/+1 counter on it.)

Whenever one or more +1/+1 counters are put on Basking Broodscale, you may create a 0/1 colorless Eldrazi Spawn creature token with “Sacrifice this creature: Add .”

kamarupa Looking at it again, you are right about Stocking the Pantry i need to get that out of there.

I think you are missing the purpose of Blade of the Bloodchief and Basking Broodscale. They serve as an infinite counter pump. Add a counter to Broodscale, he creates an eldrazi token, sacrifice the token and the Blade adds a counter to Broodscale, when adding the counter broodscale creates another token, so on and so forth.

I think i will make room for a couple Heroic Interventions and a couple Fogs. I think i will out Arbor Elf for Primordial Hydra. Thanks for those.

I dont quite see the use of Cragcrown Pathway but i will add Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth.

Thanks a lot for your detailed reply.

You're right. But... you've already got 6 slots currently devoted to spells that require creatures: Blade of the Bloodchief and Stocking the Pantry. To be honest, I was trying to avoid being too specific about what I think you should do and was just responding to your own idea about adding more removal, but now that I've taken a more serious look at your deck, I do have a lot of very specific advice, if you're interested in that, and Longstalk will definitely be a more effective choice if you do decide to follow my recommendations.

My specific advice is to cut Blade of the Bloodchief - you don't have enough creatures and you don't have any vampire and vampires probably aren't the best tribe for counters anyway. Cut Firebending Lesson - it's not that good and doesn't advance your wincon. Move Fire Magic to the side board. Cut Utopia Sprawl and Arbor Elf. If you're going to ramp, you might as well advance your wincon with it. Space in your deck is premium. No room for any card that doesn't do at least 2 things. Cut Basking Broodscale - we can find creatures that get more than one counter for less and do more. Move Runic Armasaur to the sideboard. That opens up 22 slots, if my quick math is correct.

Add 4xGyre Sage, 2xIncubation Druid, 2xRishkar, Peema Renegade, and 1xChanneler Initiate. That's a bit slower of a ramp package, but it's also more robust on theme, and creates at least one repeatable counter source. That takes up nine of the 22 slots, 13 remaining.

Add 2xEvolution Sage - it's a great spell on theme, but you gotta have stuff with counters on it for it to make a difference.

Add 4xPredator Ooze and 2xPrimordial Hydra. Those can be wincon threats on their own and interact with All Will Be One repeatedly. That's another 6 slots used, 5 remaining.

Add 3xLongstalk Brawl. 2 slots remaining

Add 2xInspiring Call.

Cut 4xForest and 2xMountain. Add 1xYavimaya, Cradle of Growth, 1xKarn's Bastion, and 4xCragcrown Pathway

Add 2xScavenging Ooze to the sideboard.

Add 1xThe Ozolith to the sideboard.

Add 1xHeroic Intervention to the sideboard.

Add 2xBeast Within to the sideboard

Add 1xFog to the sideboard

Add Return to Nature to the sideboard.

Final thoughts: The above recommedations, I think, would put your deck into a slightly slower, but more robust configuration with some protections and some draw card built in. It would be missing a way to get things back from the graveyard, which can be very useful in some matchups and also lacks lifegain, which can also be helpful, especially with grindier midrangers such as this. Lifegain is pretty easy - something like Essence Warden or Weather the Storm maybe? Getting stuff out of the graveyard isn't quite as good with green, but still doable. Bala Ged Recovery, perhaps?

Other spells to consider if space can be made for them: Hardened Scales, Bow of Nylea, Song of Freyalise, Jiang Yanggu, Wildcrafter, Inscription of Abundance

Love the deck idea! Tried it myself a couple of years back, but I couldn't ditch Ishai in the end. Right now i'm building a second deck with Reyhan partnering Rograkh, Son of Rohgahh,.. but having red and blue sounds really appealing too...

Now that i think about it, this deck does received allot of fun tools lately:

AkaAkuma on What if I changed Vorosh to Partners?

How do Reyhan and Ishai serve you over Vorosh? I like your little Incubation Druid + Llanowar Reborn synergy, I might try this!

Speaking of creatures that like a graft, you should check Basking Broodscale which can go infinite with every other card...

Perhaps Agonasaur Rex is also a card worth considering. It grants a card, counters and evasion/protection in a pinch, but it also has a little synergy with the likes of Evolution Witness. Rex can be recurred continually, serving as a counter and carddraw manasink.

And perhaps i am mistaken, but i miss a bit of Oomph in the decklist. Any thoughts on Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord (usually 7 mana wincon), The Gitrog, Ravenous Ride (usually 5 mana win next turn) or Blade of Selves (swing with Reyhan, place 6 x 3 counters on anything)?

AkaAkuma on Math Test

I can always appreciate a Reyhan and Ishai, and even with a primer! Nice.

Since you included a cathars, you should definitely check out Basking Broodscale and Crystalline Crawler.

My personal favorite is The Gitrog, Ravenous Ride with Reyhan lately. It quickly ramps out of control without losing power, even if you eat Reyhan with the frog. And if you can get wild with power, i would also really recommend giving Walking Archive or Giggling Skitterspike a try.

Cheers!

On the plus side, Basking Broodscale's gone, and this deck has room to breathe again. On the minus side, it takes Deadly Dispute with it, and Kuldotha Rebirth is gone too. Is it worth it to try to reclaim the Broodscale space?
